NEWS
Our Kindergarten Assessments will take place on Friday, May 3rd- Tuesday, May 7th.  DIBELS and Benchmarking for reading levels will also take place the first part of May. It is exciting to see the great progress taking place with each one of your children!

The reading celebration is scheduled for Monday, May 20th.  As a school, we need to read 1,000,000 minutes in order to earn our way to the celebration.  If the students read 1,5000,000 minutes, Mr. Oldroyd has agreed to kiss a pig! Please keep track of the minutes on our own classroom-reading calendar and on the Kite Flight for Reading and Sight calendar.  Remember our goal for kindergarten is a minimum of 15 minutes a night for five nights a week.  (300 minutes a month).  Please continue to read with your child and have him/her read to you.  It makes a huge difference!

Our class will be doing our kindergarten program on Wednesday, May 22nd.  Please mark your calendars now for this important event!  Please have your child wear church clothes for our performances, which will be held in the school gym at 10:00 AM for morning students, and 12:30 PM for afternoon students.

The last day of school is Friday, May 24th.  All students get to meet their first grade teacher for next year on this day.  In order for this to happen, we need all students to attend the morning session of kindergarten (including those who normally attend the PM class).  We will meet from 8:50-10:50 for that day.  Extended day kindergarten will not be held on the last day of school.
